Why?

There is somebody somewhere,
Who listens to your unspoken words;
Who talks to you in unspoken words;
Who communicates with you;
Despite the distances between you;
Through unconventional ways;
Who does things for you;
Silently, but for you only;
And brings a smile on your face.
Deep down in your heart;
You know why.

:-x :-x :-x

I know that this is a repetition. But if it takes me to repeat things for a good cause, I'll do it. I am extremely angry. The cause if this anger is a discussion I read online in an e-column of a famous Malayalam news paper. I wish I could write this is Malalayalam so that all the "well educated" megalomaniac Malayali men and the women roaming around them could read this, but somebody can translate this later.
 
      The discussion was about how Malayalis have become low standard despite their higher educational qualifications and whatever cacophonies that have occurred in their society. When I say "they", it includes me too. I am ashamed of the fact that the society which pretends to be so advanced is digging its own graveyard in the recent times. Sorry, I have to come back to the point of discussion.

    The article was about marriage and how it has become a vain show of wealth and how people associate it with phoney status in the society. It also discusses how demanding having a child within a year of marriage is also a status symbol. It also touches the serious issue of how people treat well educated, self sufficient unmarried women above 25 years as if they are stiff meat. I like the article. The author had really pointed out all the serious issues regrading this crap mentality about weeding and family life.

   But what made me angry was the nasty comments made by useless, crap, filthy, good for nothing, megalomaniac crap crap males (especially young people who, despite being young are useless to the society or themselves and are wasting the nation's and natural resources). I would like to call them by even filthier names. Does the young generation of "educated Keralam" think like stinking toilets? Then I can assure you that you are heading for a dooms day.


         Spending money for some marriage which is like a mirage itself is a crime. Even worse is demanding that the girl produce a child within an year. Who are you to decide the sex life or a maternal life of a girl? Who the hell are you to decide when she should get pregnant, what gendered baby she should produce and within what period of time? Who are you to comment on a girl's life? Who gave you the permission to indulge in any girl's life you f****** b*****ds? All your life you have been brought up with false perceptions that men are better than women and you were given more care than your sister who deserved it better.

 And then when you grow up old, you can marry a girl 10 years younger than you, even if you are an ugly spoiled brat and ruin her life. And then you shamelessly proclaim yourself to be the most important person in your family and do whatever you like including abusing all women in your family. If you are not contend with that, you extend your reaches to other families and ruin them. You can't even respect a female politician even if she is hundred times smarter than you. You'll address her by the worst possible names when you talk about her.

     You do nothing useful in your life than to exhibit your possessions in public places as if everybody is interested in it and cause nuisance to people. You forcefully distribute DNAs around you to produce crap filthy like men who spread like cancer to the society. And you dare to comment on the "tenderness"
of a girl's body you, filthy carcinogen? You don't even respect your mother, which woman will you respect? And you force your daughter or sister into the hands of a crap like you, to justify that she will be "safe"!!!  Shame on you Keralites. Shame on you.

    One for never accepting the fact that a girl needs nobody to be safe and she can protect herself. Second for producing men who think that they can have a girl two days after he dons the costume of a protector. Third for using your education as a means to get married and increase Indian population. Fourth, for selling your dignity in the marriage market by following the herd which is travelling to suicide. Fifth for making Kerala eligible to be called a mad house again if Vivekananda was alive!!!!! Shame on your false pride and false values.

Marriage is nothing but a polished slave trade. And it is necessary since you always have yo keep girls as second citizens whom you can exploit to ensure your luxury. It is high time that you got out of false conceptions about how girls should be controlled. If you are not ready for that, you need not study anything. But sadly even education is a false pride for you. you are moving in a suicidal direction.



      Producing an offspring (forced) is not an achievement in life. Having somebody to hold your hand only when you are adorned in 100kg gold is also not an achievement. Because, all those will never come to use when you have to do something on your own, to be remembered. But you don't want to be remembered. Do you? You are taught so. Come on. It is 21st century. Who wants to be a pretty doll in the shadows of an imposing good for nothing male?

Gossip world 2

In the first part of this, I ended with a note on the the media which spread gossips to certain amounts and exaggerate each and every bit of information they could broadcast! In the real world too cases are not different. If you look around you, you'll see people who exaggerate things to gigantic proportions and present it in front of others. One of their main aims is to gain popularity by means of these exaggerations.

        These exaggerations will always be far away from truth and all, but those people who can't see through the gas of hollow words will fall prey to such people and believe whatever they say blindly. Finally, their judgements become blinded by prejudices given by those who exaggerate things unnecessarily. Actually the phrase "fall prey" is incorrect. A person with a good character will never believe others no matter what news they feed him/her with, but only observe things and form his/her own judgement. Otherwise you can call that person an opportunist.
  
        An opportunist never pretends to take sides. Actually an opportunist never takes sides explicitly, but always takes sides which are beneficial for them. There is a saying "to catch fish in muddy water". All opportunists do that. They will indulge themselves in all activities where they can make a dime or a name. Then they will act like comforters of their gossiper friend who is actually acting out an emotional drama to turn all people's attention to himself/herself, by spreading false stories about an innocent person. Opportunists have nothing to lose. They will get into the "good books" of these "paripaavan" people, whom they can use to get their work done. Some kind of good symbiosis. HUh?

        But just imagine the false stories being spread about people? If you have some problem with a person's life, and you consider your  life not worthy of living, you start feeling jealous of the other one and start doing all sorts of sub standard things to demean that person! Instead of utilising their time to improve themselves so that they start feeling their lives worthy (by the way all lives as worthy of living; to all people who feel that they are useless) of living, they waste their time on gossiping about others, so that others will hate the ones whom these gossipers are jealous of! What the hell! Is this a way to live? On one hand you pretend to be extremely good. And on the other hand you do dirty things behind people's back, doing all things to demean them! That's not fair.

       In movies and all we have seen characters who are jealous from top to bottom and are nothing short of a villain. But we all think that they occur only in movies. But to speak the truth, if you open your eyes to the people around you, you'll see many many such people. Even inside your own circles. They may be jealous of you for some reason, but all they do is to go and craft stories about your jealousy towards them and make people loath you. Hmmmmm...And opportunists believe all of them.

       The fact that many people who appear to be good do all these is a sad thing. [Either be a good person to the core. Or be a bad person to the core. Being fully bad will be much better than acting good and being bad in reality.] You are in a society, and everybody wants it to advance [except for the exploiters who can't let go off their powers]. Then somebody wants to steal the show and provides all sorts of lame excuses to get the whole world's attention to them, because they can't do anything genuine, but put on an attire of "greatness" they have copied from here and there and cause emotional pollution in society by demeaning others. This actually retards the society.

       A lot of self advertisement goes into gossiping. Once and for once, instead of advertising about yourself to others by words, can't you do something nice which will speak for itself? Once and for all, can't you turn your antennae towards your own mind and listen to it rather than trying to copy someone or gossip about someone? It will do a lot of good to a lot of people including yourself, dear gossiper. Unless you try to improve your life, nobody else is going to help you and after a while you'll run out of stories and opportunist listeners [who will listen to you only for a short period, because they are opportunists, they have to find someone else to get their things done]. What will you do then? Isn't it better to lead a straightforward life based on good virtues rather than trying to attain some fame through short cuts? [Actually craving for fame or trying to be in everyone's good books is also a bad thing. When you crave for fame, all you try is to be popular, thus losing the depth of your character. The only good book you have to be in is your own good book. And that is called conscience.]

A day in hundred years. :)

It was an awesome experience.  Today was the day when I really missed having a high resolution imaging device, still I am happy. Happy because I missed it 8 years ago.Though I had read about it in my favorite science magazine in 2004, I couldn't watch it at that time. Today morning was my lucky morning and I made up after 8 years. :)

   I am talking about today's Venus transit. This is the second transit of the century (in unscientific terms). I am not going to explain the science of this. You can find it all over the internet. :)
 
      In 2004, I had no idea that I would see its twin in 2012. Probably the missing part might have made me subconsciously wish to see the second one. Anyway I made it up. I can still feel that I am still excited. :) I don't know, I started making plans not to miss this about a month ago. I still had no specific plan. So we requested our guide for any plan to watch this. So she consulted with one of the faculties in our institute and he agreed to bring his telescope for the event.

    Even though there was an arrangement, I still was not sure whether I'll make it or not, provided my sleeping habits. I am here, in Chennai, where the transit would be visible in the morning. So obviously I had to get up early in the morning.
So yesterday evening I suddenly found myself going to my apartment from the office to sleep early. But sleep never came to me till it was midnight! I couldn't sleep due to excitement.And in between, my friend passed on the information to me that, our guide had told her about the  arrangements science forum were making on Marine beach to watch the transit. So I tried to sleep even harder. But in vain.

     Finally sleep came to me around midnight (actually, I had to forcefully shut my mind to the possible excitement which awaited me). I put an alarm for 4am! It rang at 4. I woke up. Thought about the silver planet. Then tried to sleep again. Then woke up. There was a struggle between excitement and exhaustion for a while. Finally my room mate woke up and I asked her to call as soon as she got ready. :) But I couldn't sleep. I woke up myself by the time she got ready and got ready as soon as possible. :) And we three set out to the bus stop.

     Almost 6.30. "No I don't want to be late", I thought. I almost ran towards the bus stop. I was so sure that any bus which went via broadway would take us to Marina. But none was stopping! Then other kind passengers in the stop guided us to the bus stop some 3m away where all the buses to broadway stop. Finally we got a bus.

      It was beautiful. From yesterday evening there was nice breeze. The roads were empty. It was a golden morning. I felt that I was living some dream. :) Finally we got down at Gandhi Silai in Marina. I was expecting a huge crowd. But we didn't see any.

     We walked searching for telescopes. First we saw a group of people to whom another group seemed to be explaining something. But to our shock and amusement we found out that it was a group of some holistic healers! What an irony! Irony was that we found the forum people very soon, not far away from the holistic healer group! There was no crowd. But there were some 50 or so people. Still no telescope.

         We went to the people holding aluminium filters. They were broad sheets fixed on wooden rails. :) And I found that we had to look through it. I waited patiently. Then came my chance. I looked. The first thing I saw was my reflection. Then I looked through it......

      And I saw. I saw the small black dot on the left side of the solar disc. :) I don't know what I felt about it. Surely, now, when I am writing this, my eyes are welling up with tears. I can't express it in words. No photo, no words, no image is comparable to watching it with your own eyes, live (even though thay all make you happy).  I felt happy that I was able to spot the dot fast. (My struggle with adjusting spectrometer focus hasn't gone in vain. :)) And I don't know what I felt. I stood watching it.

     Then I learned about the telescope there. So I went there. Obviously I had to click a photo. Then I clicked the image on the screen form the telescope. But telescope image is a mirror image. I had to go back and see through foil to get the real feeling. :) So I went back and looked at it. It was such a pretty sight. I missed having a high zoom DSLR, or a movie camera. And in hundred years Venus is not going to transit. Hmmm. :) But still I have the photo in my mind. :) And it is a beautiful one.

************************************************************************************

We returned after half an hour or so. But we missed our guide by 5 minutes. She was just going to Marina, when we were on the bus. So we came back, took the shuttle to the institute. And I couldn't help thinking about the excitement that awaited here. The first thing I saw when I came here was one of my friends carrying a solar eclipse filter. Hunger won over excitement and I had to go and eat something.

 But then I couldn't sit peacefully in my office too. How could I miss the fun when everybody else might also be having? I had fun in the morning,but why would I miss it if I could still have the fun? After all I call myself a Physicist. [I am sure I would never have missed the fun even if I were not one. It is not everyday that you see your neighbouring planet across the sun.] So I set out from my office in pursuit of the friend with the filter.

        After going up and down the building, I luckily found him. And he directed me to the group viewing the transit with the telescope which was promised to be brought. :) And I saw a sun the size of a dime and a small venus on it. :) And clicked it again, missing having a DSLR camera. [I again remembered my own motto; have something if you feel like having it, instead of regretting it. :)] People in the group kept clicking the coin sized sun. :)

     Then looked at the sun again, and saw that the dot had moved on to the top of the disc. What started as a small group ended up as a big one, when many started coming in. But towards the end of it. Then came the person with the dslr, who was probably going to take the picture of the telescope (when he had a powerful DSLR!). Somehow to compensate for my not having the camera, I requested him to take a photo of the sun. He somehow found his camera stand in time and clicked good pictures. : )We even saw sunspots on it. :) Hopefully, he will send the pictures around or upload it somewhere.

 :) By the end Venus was going up and up to the  edge of the solar disc, and when it was about to end, our guide came back from Marina. : ) And we had a chance to look through welding glass. Sun looks green through it. And it went and went and finally it was hard to make out whether it was there or not. The crowd had almost dispersed. There were only 4 of us left. And I left, telling "goodbye Venus" silently. :)


*************************************************************************************

In one way I was lucky. :) In another way I was determined. Lucky because the sky was clear. Determined because I didn't want to miss the celestial event. :) That's why a day in hundred years and I am happy that I like Physics. :)

Angel ;)

There is somebody somewhere,
Who does things for you,
And never tells you in explicit words
That it was done for you.

There is someone somewhere,
Who loves you silently,
But never tells you that,
You are loved so much.

There is someone somewhere,
Who is being loved silently by you,
And for whom your heart beats,
But never knows about your love.

 The angel.......Of love.

Those who died before they were born. Part 2

         What is with all this killing children on the basis of gender? You kill female children, so it means that you will kill genderless children too? What is with almost the whole country acting as Kamsa? HUH? Who gave you the right to kill anybody? Murderers are caught and punished if they kill adults. Why don't people consider abortion as murder? You are killing something within the womb, so it is not a problem? You are not cutting down a fully developed fetus so its not a problem? Who told you that you can kill a developing fetus just because a sonography result told you that it is a girl?


               And how do you expect a mother to bear and deliver a "precious XY son" after 6 or 7 successive forced abortions????? Who told you that a woman is a breeding machine you shameless crap people? HUH? The only job of a woman is not to collect sperms. The only job of a man is not to distribute sperms. If you think that a male child will make your household shine, and a female child is worthless, you are just going to suffer and you are going to cause the extinction of human species.
 
           Statistically speaking, it is good for the earth. Because humans are in one way the cancer of the earth. And when the females become extinct the species can longer reproduce. Even the fantastic brain and intelligence of man can't help in producing children. If you go for artificial methods to reproduce, you've to spend lots of money (see women are more valuable than they are considered to be). Nobody can make a fool proof mechanism which can produce humans (or any species) in a huge number (remember cloning; Dolly died after some years because she was weak).

          And when there are no females probably all the males will become gays and grow old and weak and die. So, one by one, the human population in the world will deteriorate and humans will be extinct! Hola! What a wonderful notion from the prospect of other species. Natural balance will be restored.
 
       Now let me call you to the present. I wrote in one of the previous paragraphs about successive abortions with which mothers are tortured. Why is it that there were so many? Because all of them were girls. Well. Think about this as a natural process. There may be some reason why all of them were girls. A woman has XX
and a man has XY chromosomes. So when there is cell division, the possible combinations are the following :

 Mother          Father 
   XX                 XY

   X  X             X  Y
  
      Now see this carefully, the mother can give X chromosomes only, no matter what happens. The Y has to come from the father. And the fact that there are there X's here shows that the probability of producing XX is easier and more favored by nature. Unless the Y from the father manages to attach to the X from the mother, you can't have a "precious son". 

      This is purely a statistical process. (And please take note . There is only one ovum and a lot of sperms ( I forgot the correct number, it is probably a million). So the girl who are killing in the womb was formed from an event in which one sperm which won over the (1million -1) sperms and managed to attach to that one ovum and form an XX to make a girl. You should respect that child. Same for an XY too. But you can't just kill girls and ask a mother to bear children till a boy is born (and that boy may go and do some "adventurous things" disregarding his parents' love for him and die sooner than he was born and taken care to grow up!).
 
      That is like cheating in exam. OH! But I forgot. You don't care about cheating in exams. Right? All you bother is about "scoring high"! :-x For whose benefit are you doing all these? Firstly you are trying to interfere with nature. Secondly you are trying to bias a random process according to your will. Thirdly you are torturing people in the name of gender. Fourthly, you are polluting the society by being alive like this. You are a villain who is not letting others live, save even be born, but you are wasting people's time and natural resources by being alive. And you are the root of all the evil in the society.
 
       Aren't you ashamed of this? To live a dark life in a mansion? To boast of your education and qualification when you don't know how to appreciate life?

***********************************************************************************
   Just imagine this. You are put in a fluid filled bag and you have no ability to move. Suddenly a very sharp object comes and cuts your body. You want to cry, nobody hears your screams . You want to escape the object, but you've no where to run away. You feel that severe pain. Then slowly your lose your consciousness is lost. Your body is cut into a million pieces and crushed. All that remains is a mixture of fluid and body parts. Nobody saved you. And somebody collects all these remains in a plastic bag and throws away in garbage. There it (you) rot unknown. Some people around you (except one) are extremely happy, because they have gotten rid of you for somebody else.

     This is what you have done to those  3 crore children and are doing to some unknown number of children now.

************************************************************************************

PS : I once knew a very pretty and intelligent cat. She was one of the loveliest cat I had ever seen. Once it gave birth to a kitten and my mother told me that that kitten died somehow. After this cat was extremely sad and it went somewhere. Nobody ever heard of it. A cat felt this much. I can only imagine the depressed state a mother goes through when she is forced to kill her child.

Those who died before they were born. - Part 1

This is an early post considering the fact that there are 5 more days to got to mother's day, but this is definitely the after effect of watching the first episode of 'Satyamevjayate'. While watching hte episode I was numb, I cried a lot later, thinking about the 3 crore female children who were killed before they were born.
Not only for them, but also for the mothers of all those unborn children who were little girls some day and had to struggle a lot just because they themselves were girls and bore girl children.

      I am feeling angry. I am also feeling numb. This is a very serious issue about which we all know and yet somehow close our eyes to. I urge everybody to watch this episode. It showed the story of three brave women who were subject to torture and inhuman behavior. Despite all these, they finally managed to stand up for themselves and their daughters and defended justice.

      Let me ask a question. (I realize that I've been asking a lot of questions for
quite some time and mostly it is about the problems faced by girls/women. The mere fact that there are so many questions to be asked in this regard proves the bad conditions of women prevailing in our society.) Why do you want to kill a girl child?

    1) Is it because she is a monetary burden to the family?
           I've written a lot about this, so I'm not going to detail it again here.
 
    2) Or is it something like only a son can sustain the family tree?
          For people who believe that the son is the only way to sustain a family tree, let me ask another question. IS your son capable of bearing a child in his body and giving birth to a child after 9 months and taking care of it after it is born and feeding it? The answer to all these is a big NO. Then why are you so crazy about having a male child in the family?
       
         Or do you think that only males are intelligent and smart and only they can be the bread winners to the family? But pathetically, most of the times, these "precious"  males never work, instead roam around polluting the society by never doing any work. All they do is to squander the money earned by somebody else, and torture the women both inside and outside their households.
          
         Or is it because you expect your son to marry a girl and bring a "bahu aka long term family servant free of salary" so that you can rest during your old age? (Applicable for all classes of the society.) Basically this is what happened to you. Right?So why not inflict harm on other women as well? Why spare them? All you want is a "precious XY organism". But what if all the families around the world start thinking like that? Then there will be a time where there won't be any female humans in the whole world and there won't be anybody to bear the child of your "precious son who will carry the family forward". This will be the end of your family!

     What will you do you educated demons? What will you, who do and don't understand genetics do? HUH? Probably if your son couldn't find any female there may come a time when he attacks you to quench his thirst or hunger! Why do you women who in spite of being women have to assist or help to kill girls????? HUH?

         You couldn't have achieved anything in your life had your parents decided to kill you before you were born. If you think that the life of the daughter of your son is in your hands, you shouldn't forget that probably your life were in the hands of your paternal grandparents and parents. I am asking this to the "respectable "lady" and her "educated family"" who kicked the newly born child from the stair case. What if somebody kicks you from the stairs? After all, you are also a woman. If you can kick a girl, anybody can kick you too. Right?
